An “American Horror Story” is coming to TV.
The FX channel said Monday it has ordered 13 episodes of a new drama it says has “reinvented the horror genre.” The show is from the producers of “Nip/Tuck” and “Glee.”
“American Horror Story” stars Dylan McDermott (“The Practice”) and Connie Britton (“Friday Night Lights”) as a couple who move their family from Boston to Los Angeles to, as FX put it, “reconcile past anguish.”
The drama also features Oscar-winning star Jessica Lange (“Tootsie,” ”Blue Sky”) in her first regular TV series role, along with Frances Conroy of “Six Feet Under”
“American Horror Story” was co-created by executive producers Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. Read full article…

Rebecca Black
Rebecca Black has come a long way since “Friday.”
The 14-year-old singer, whose much-mocked “Friday” is the most-watched YouTube clip of all time with more than 167 million views, has released a new single called “My Moment.”
The “success” of her first song inspired a number of covers (notably by Glee and Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon) and countless parodies. She also appeared in Katy Perry’s new video.

His embarassments usually have little to do with his role as a veteran, smack-talking New York firefighter. It’s the family drama that usually provides the most humiliation. Even then, it’s surprising in the first episode of the show’s final season how quickly Dennis Leary’s manhood gets thrown under the bus. Actually, it was his wife Janet’s mid-sized sedan.
Despite confronting Janet early on in the episode about their tangle of marital deception (including the pregnancy she hid from him at the end of last season), Gavin sees a new baby as a chance to put the pieces of his marriage back together. But according to Janet, their relationship doesn’t have a prayer unless he agrees to become a normal, full-time dad. At this poi

After months of waiting, Prince William and Kate Middleton finally arrived stateside on Friday and certainly brought their photogenic charm with them.
The Royal Couple spent their first night in Los Angeles attending Variety’s Venture Capital and New Media Summit at The Beverly Hilton hotel, according to E! Online.
Middleton, always one to dazzle in the latest fashions, fittingly chose to wear a ‘Maja’ green dress by American designer Diane Von Furstenberg for the occasion.
At the technology and media-focued event, William and Kate mingled with guests, including British Ambassador Sir Nigel Sheinwald, California Governor Jerry Brown and pal David Beckham (who’s expecting a new baby any day now).

Let’s start with what’s up with Jack, Gwen, and Rex. Rex separates Gwen and Jack from Rhys, who gets to stay in the United Kingdom. But on the flight over to the States, after some speculation about Jack’s new mortality, we get a pretty big hint that the true players in this season’s scenario are yet to be revealed, as a CIA Agent played by Dichen Lachman (late of the much-lamented-by-me “Dollhouse”) slips a little arsenic into Jack’s cola, and he starts to die.
The sequence where Jack is slowly passing away and Gwen puzzles out just what’s going on, eventually incorporating Rex and the flight attendants into her crazy scheme to synthesize an arsenic cure using only what’s available on a plane, was the most fun this season has been so far. As Lachman (and a
